2010 Quartz Reef Bendigo Estate Vineyard Central Otago New Zealand Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., pH 3.66, TA 0.55, $96, screwcap. Aged
in 15% new and 85% one-year-old French oak barrels.
·
Moderately dark
reddish-purple color in the glass. This is an enthralling wine with lovely
aromas of dark red and black berries and a hint of oak vanillin. The
striking middleweight fruit enters with aplomb and fans out nicely on the
mid palate, finishing with generosity. Very soft and polished, even velvety in the
mouth. Commendable oak and tannin integration, and appealing earth and
mineral imbued notes add to the pleasure.
